Ed McMahon sued a hospital, two doctors and an investment tycoon
Friday over a neck injury he has said has left him unable to work, a
circumstance he has blamed for his recent money woes. The lawsuit
seeks an unspecified amount, claiming negligence, battery, elder abuse
and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It was filed in Los
Angeles Superior Court against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, two
doctors, and the owner of a home where he says he fell in March 2007. The
former "The Tonight Show" sidekick claims that Cedars-Sinai and its
doctors originally discharged him with a broken neck and didn't
adequately conduct two surgeries. McMahon's suit states his
cardiologist later discovered that his neck was broken.

Cedars-Sinai
has not been served with the lawsuit and could not comment on the
allegations, said Simi Singer, a hospital spokeswoman. Also named
in the lawsuit is Robert Day, who owns an investment firm and has been
on Forbes' list of richest Americans in previous years, and his wife.
McMahon claims a ramp-like staircase where he attended a dinner party
was "unsafe" because it was poorly lit and lacked handrails.
